For all your 12AU7 tuberollers out there, What is your Favorite 12AU7 tube?

The rules are fairly simple - please reply in 1 or 2 lines ONLY:
1. Reply w/ your one and only favorite tube in the first line.
2. You can mention what amp you use it in the second line.

For the purposes of keeping this thread as close to a survey as possible please NO DEBATE/DISCUSSION. There is no need to justify why you like a certain tube or why you do not like someone else's choice.

I'm looking forward to all of your replies.....
